Patti Scialfa, E Street Band mate and wife of Bruce Springsteen, was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer, in 2018. She made the revelation, according to Variety, in the new documentary Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, which premiered on Sunday night at the Toronto Film Festival. 

Scialfa shared that the cancer is why she’s been performing less, including on Springsteen’s current world tour, which continues into July 2025.
